Hello,
I've come across a problem while upgrading a pc to Windows 10 32 bit from Windows 7 32 bit. actually I did this a long time ago, but I just noticed the problem now.
I have two 2 GB DDR2 667 MHz dual channel RAM sticks on my motherboard (iBase MB930) but my computer properties shows that i have only 2.75 GB installed. If I go to one stick it shows 1.99 installed. This happens with Windows 7 as well, the BIOS is AWARD V6.00.
I've seen a lot of similar threads but my problem is different. It does not show
"Installed Memory: 4 GB (2.75 GB usable)", it shows installed memory is 2.75GB
Memtest, BIOS, Speccy all show 4GB, though Speccy says 2.75 under physical. (Under memory it shows 4).
Task manager is a little odd, it shows 2,7 unknown, it doesn't seem to know it's DDR2 as I have seen on others. It shows the correct speed, slots used, and says hardware reserved is 0.
msconfig maximum memory is greyed out and unchecked, but it says 2816.
I am using my slots and RAM correctly, same exact sticks in same colored slots. I have for fun tried all combinations.
I would greatly appreciate any and every attempt to help so please feel free to post.
Thank you for your time.
